I just spoke Dr. Debasis at Monkmed in India and my meds are approved for shipping. I will arrive in Hobart on Feb. 1 and start tx on Feb. 2. This has been an extraordinary experience so far and I am looking forward to 30 days of healing, hiking and exploring in Tasmania. Thanks to all of you who are making this possible.

19 January 2016 at 4:36 am #9730Can’t wait to see drop bears and devils! I just found out today that my meds have arrived and waiting for me to get there. I arrive in Hobart on Feb. 1 and will start on Feb. 2. Very excited about the trip and the healing. Any other tips on what I should do there? Assuming I have energy, I would like to hire a car and drive around. Also very interested in day hikes and happy to have company if anyone is keen.

MonkMed Care Team!19 January 2016 at 1:15 pm #9784Great to hear you’re on the tx journey now too Honker, only 2 weeks to go
One recommendation if you have the means, get to Cradle Mountain if you possibly can – breaktaking scenery and lots of hiking opportunities. Visited in 1996 and I really wish I could go back there.
